Basically glorified babysitter in helping me to stay focused on office work when I would rather be taking pictures etc. =) I need a muse also to help inspire me with my art by having someone else's energy around here.

PS
My work is my life. I have hired friends in the past to help me. I am really looking for someone I hit it off with. For example I hate shopping, (unless we are talking about art supplies and camera gear) so could be just coming along with me so I get stuff I need. etc.
